Profile

Alamos Gold Inc. (Alamos), headquartered in Toronto, Canada, employs approximately 400 people in Mexico and has ambitious plans for growth through optimizing production, mine expansion, new production from the Escondida area, increasing reserves, and an aggressive and innovative exploration program. Alamos is committed to accomplishing this while maintaining a strong balance sheet and ensuring that growth occurs in a reasonable, responsible and rational manner.
Alamos owns 100% of the 28,500-hectare Salamandra group of concessions located in the state of Sonora in northwest Mexico. The Salamandra group of concessions includes the Mulatos mine and more than nine other prospective exploration targets. Mulatos is a high sulfidation, epithermal gold deposit occurring in oxide, mixed oxide/sulfide and sulfide ore types containing approximately 4 million ounces of gold resources. In April, 2006, the Mulatos Mine achieved commercial production.
Alamos continues to outline new resources and reserves in deposit adjacent to Mulatos. The 2005 discovery of the high-grade Escondida Hanging Wall Zone just 500 meters from the Estrella Pit demonstrates the excellent exploration potential of the Salamandra property. Alamos is currently exploring for new ore deposits throughout the Mulatos District.
